Socialism and Its Future
SOC257 FA

This course is about the Left and its visions of socialism as an alternative to capitalism. The course will begin by critically engaging the writings of Marx and Engels on capitalism and socialism. We will then consider the perspectives of several Left critiques of the socialist experiments in Eastern Europe and the Third World, especially in the Caribbean and Central America. The course will end by considering the prospects for socialism in the post-Cold War era.
